Children have few resources when it comes to learning money management skills, so they end up learning from trial and error how to save, invest and budget their income wisely.

Unfortunately many suffer financially all through adulthood because they did not learn money management skills in their youth. A resource is now available to assist parents and educators to teach financial skills to children of all ages.

“Kids go to school to learn the skills they need to one day have a profession and earn a living to support themselves and their family. Unfortunately they do not get much training to develop financial literacy through money management training. Parents and teachers now have a resource to turn to that will fill that need,” said Donald L. Robinson, CEO of eSkills, LLC and founder of SkillsThatClick.com.

The http://www.SkillsThatClick.com web site enables kids to learn through the use of financial simulations that make learning fun and entertaining.

“eSkills is committed to providing an entertaining and educational online program which will assist our youth in understanding the importance of strong credit and money management skills, and encourage them to view money management as an important life tool,” explained Robinson.

The web site was created as a money management resource for schools, youth-focused programs and initiatives. It is also a great tool for parents to help kids to develop financial literacy skills. The site provides a personalized and interactive financial simulator program to learn proper money management, according to Robinson.

“I created www.SkillsThatClick.com to be an entertaining and educational program for learning the importance of money management and credit, because so many kids today have a very limited exposure to strong models for financial management skills,” explained Robinson.

Educational information and guidance is provided on many topics, including checking and savings accounts, ATM cards, credit cards, investments, and even 401k plans. Students learn to shop, save, and invest wisely.

The company is offering partnerships for corporate sponsors to become involved in the site. Robinson said the sponsors are able to assist in bringing the resources of the web site to many youth.
